This past Wednesday was spent in western North Carolina in the city of Asheville. I’d taken some furniture to my daughter, who lives there, and spend the day with her. One of our activities was a little nature photo walk-about.
Asheville is a beautiful area that has a lot to offer those who live there. Perhaps the one thing it doesn’t offer is an abundance of well paying jobs, so finding a way to “live well” can be difficult.
While attending the University of North Carolina, Asheville, my daughter grew to love the area and decided to stay on post-graduation. Asheville feels like home to her now. I think she made a good choice. She enjoys photography, which is something we can share, but I don’t know it’s a passion for her. Perhaps it will be someday. Meanwhile she’s getting some of my hand-me-down equipment.
Later on Wednesday we went to see the movie “Batman: The Dark Knight.” Best Batman movie yet in my book. I liked it very much and I’m not a big Batman fan.
About the Photos: It seemed like an idyllic composition for a photo when we came across the Grey Heron posing above. Just one problem, there was an abandoned automobile tire in the water at its feet that would be in every shot. A sad statement to the times in which we live. Can everyone say…”Photoshop.” ;-)
